An error message when a smet file misses its epsg ocde and/or altitude as been improved. The MERGE example has been improved in order to be clearer. A bug in the append mode of smet files has been fixed (possibility of a duplicate timestamp).

Now the last timestamp in a SMET file can be compared to the data that should be appended in order to decide if the file should be truncated or not

This is the first version of an append feature for SMET files. Not all the case might be well handled but at least, it starts to work... (with more optimizations to come)

Better error handling for the GSN plugin as well as forcing the station_id to lowercase when building the URL (so instead of a cryptic GSN error message, it just works)

Last changes to support the Cray compiler. Please note that for Cray, you most probably have to compile with static linking!

Trying to make the CMakeLists clearer and more modular: the compiler options are now set through a macro that will be shared with the other projects. New targets appeared: Intel and Cray, but this is still a work in progress.

Handling some warnings for new version of clang in MathOptim.h (turning them off for the bit manipulations). Laying the foundations for the append mode in SMET files (not usable yet).

Fixed two warnings on osX and turned off the global-constructor / exit-time-destructor warnings for Clang (since there is pretty much no viable alternative to what these warnings are about). Fixed a formatting typo in smet_extract.sh

The possibility of monthly aggregation (AVG, MIN, MAX) has been added as well as support for julian timestamps

Now even files with JULIAN timestamps can be restricted to certain time ranges (provided as ISO formatted time string)

First fixes for NetCDF so it could be used by Alpine3D: a bug when handling precipitation grids has been fixed (nodata now remain nodata) and the data packing has been removed (since when appending new grids it can simply not work). A future alternative could be "bit shaving", see https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/developer/entry/compression_by_bit_shaving .

Documentation improvements, fixed a bug when generating kml files (wrong altitude appended to the name), improved the layout when using smet_range and trying to convert average values to sums in GRIBIO for easier further processing.

An unpleasant bug has been fixed in data_converter when handling large number of stations and time ranges. Minor code cleanup in some plugins.

Cleaning up the docuemntation: the PREVAH landuse code are only of interest for Alpine3D so this has been moved into its documentation

A new tool has been contributed by Aurélien Gallice: a Python class to read SMET files. The smet2kml script now adds the altitude to the station name, making it more convenient when plotting names on a map.

Some docuemntation has been written in the PSUDistribute code to help with debuging *for next time*. The Accumulate resampling now fills the first nodata with 0 (since we know that we don't have enough information to re-accumulate at the first point). The unused "isGzip" booleans have been removed from the smet code since this is currently not supported the way we want it.

A new script has been created to help select SMET files based on the parameters they contain. A bug has been found in PSUMDistribute when a distribution interval would be followed by a large data gap (it was filling the remaining of the buffer with 0).

A small bug has been fixed in the SMET specs. The experimental "UnShade" filter has been removed while the SNOS filter has been renamed as "DETECT_GRASS" and MAX_CHANGE as "Time_Consistency" in order to better reflect the cited paper. The NOISE processing is now documented. Otherwise, some documentation typos have been fixed.

Documentation fixes and slightly improved kml files that now contain the station elevation in the point description

A few new checks have been added when parsing the arguments of the data generators in order to produce a proper error message if necessary. A link has been added to the SMET documentation.

The PSUMDistribute "filter" was not working properly on some data, this has been fixed. Some missing documentation for the TAU_CLD generator has been added.

Improved an error message and added a note in the documentation that libproj is currently not thread-safe (as well as a little code cleanup)

This is finally a proper version of the Solar resampling: it works for multiple stations and is well optimized.

The Solar resampling now works with multiple stations, but this canceled out some of the optimization gains...

The new Solar resampling algorithm has been re-written for performance. It is now 16% faster when compiled in debug mode. It will still need to be tweaked to handle multiple stations (otherwise, the cached parameters would be reused between stations).

This is the first version of a solar radiation resampling algorithm. It seems to work quite well but it is still quite slow (ie it will need to be optimized by caching quite a few things, for each station calling it).

First commit to adress issue 543: now on Posix systems, the readDirectory function can perform a recursive search

The Karsten method for converting cloud cover (in okta) to clearness index has been implemented and is also available as a data generator (looking for a "CLD" parameter to use as cloud cover data)
